Sean Payton Comments on Refs After Saints' Loss to Panthers

The New Orleans Saints came close to handing the Carolina Panthers their first loss of the year but fell short Sunday, 41-38, as the Panthers clinched their third straight NFC South title.

After the game, Saints head coach Sean Payton was not in a congratulatory mood, as he had problems with the officiating late in the game, per Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune:

Saints head coach Sean Payton: “I told myself before coming in here I was not going to comment on the officiating."

But Payton did comment on the officiating.
